Experiments in locomotive Telegraphing.

--Our citizens were surprised about 8 o'clock last night, to hear an almost continuous blowing of whistles at the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad depots. Upon enquiry we found that some of the young men connected with the telegraph office, were experimenting with the telegraphic signals by the locomotive whistles. The experiments were entirely satisfactory. --Augusta Constitutionalist.
